Ah yes Syd Dale, I knew his brother Geoff well, who was such a lovely person & I know he was proud of his sibling's success, enjoyed reading the website.

Well Ian these comments are a few years old but great you have picked
up on them. Now what year were you born? I'm try to recall the situation when I left London (and even the year)! All seems a long time ago now.
The pianist with the Squads prior
to Syd was Jack Honeybourne he
emigrated to Australia wonder if he
stayed? What happened to Syd's piano? A Bechstein was it? He spent a fortune having it restored !
Hi Laurie, sorry for the delay in reply I was unaware you had left the comment. My twin sister Erica and I were born in 1958 a couple of years following the loos of Syds first son who died only a few months old. The piano is in my house, it is a Chappell piano and again is in need of some tender loving care! Best wishes,
Ian, x
